My bad... The proposed update is available; it was not called '0.3.4'. The patch appears to be available in Ubuntu in the -proposed repository. I tested the proposed patch from Debian upstream under Ubuntu, and the machine tested OK.
The machine also tested OK with the manual patch as outlined by Kevin Brace at http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/openchrome- users/2016-February/007234.html. I would encourage Ubuntu to move this from Proposed to Updates. Once the update is available en masse, close this bug report. ********** For Ubuntu users, they can follow http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed. Here's the 3 second tour using Wily/15.10: $ cat /etc/apt/sources.list | tail -2 deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ wily-proposed restricted main multiverse universe $ cat /etc/apt/preferences.d/proposed-updates Package: * Pin: release a=wily-proposed Pin-Priority: 400 Then, perform an 'apt-get update'. Finally: $ sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-openchrome/wily-proposed After "xserver-xorg-video-openchrome" is installed from proposed, the new driver will be used. Xserver should no longer crash at boot, and the desktop should be available. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-openchrome in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1561275 Title: Crash in Xserver due to VIA PM400 chipset, updated OpenChrome driver available To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-openchrome/+bug/1561275/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
